MODERNISING PLANNING
13. The Executive is modernising Scotland's planning system in response to its 2003 Partnership Agreement commitment to improve the planning system, strengthen involvement of communities, speed up decisions, reflect local views better and allow quicker investment decisions. The provisions of the Planning etc (Scotland) Act 2006 reinforce the primacy of development plans so that development takes place in the context of a long-term and inclusive vision for the future. The intention of this SPP is to put in place policies that support the role of the development plan in providing clear guidance on the relevant issues that should be taken into account when determining all renewable energy proposals in the area.
